Wheel Profile Measurement System (WPMS)

Accurate wheel profiling is essential to ensure smooth train movement, minimize track wear, and extend wheelset service life. The Wheel Profile Measurement System (WPMS) by Bulox Equipment provides a non-contact, high-resolution solution for measuring key wheel parameters such as flange height, flange thickness, tread hollow, and wheel diameter. Installed along the track or integrated with depot inspection systems, WPMS enables real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance — helping rail operators maintain wheel health, ensure ride comfort, and prevent costly failures.

Description

The Wheel Profile Measurement System (WPMS) is a standalone trackside measurement system, typically installed at depot entrances, designed to automatically measure wheel diameters and profiles in railway and metro systems.

The system employs high-precision line lasers and a high-speed, high-definition camera system to capture accurate measurement data. The complete WPMS setup consists of a Pick-Up Unit, Wayside Control Unit, Trackside Environmental Control Unit, Monitoring Unit, and Wayside Data Processing Unit. All collected wheel data is automatically captured, analyzed, and stored for maintenance and operational insights.
